SodaKlub – Podcast für Unabhängigkeit#17 Kreativität - Schreiben ohne WeinWir sprechen über die Frage, wie Kreativität mit Alkohol zusammenhängt. Sind wir kreativer geworden, seit wir nicht mehr trinken? Oder wurden unsere Gedanken ohne das Glas Wein plötzlich flach und banal? Wir sprechen über das Klischee der saufenden Poeten, wie wir unsere kreativen Prozesse erleben und worauf es denn eigentlich ankommt. Außerdem stellen wir fest: Die meisten Künstler*innen, die ein Spätwerk haben, haben sich irgendwann für die Nüchternheit entschieden. Und wir glauben nicht, dass das ein Zufall ist.—Elizabeth Gilbert - Big Magic und ihr TedTalk "Ihr scheues krea...

WITF Smart TalkSmart Talk 03/28/2017: Drugged Driving / Author Elizabeth WeinThe legalization of marijuana - both medicinally and recreationally - is becoming normalized around the country. Pennsylvania is beginning a medical marijuana program and the state's Auditor General Eugene DePasquale recently advocated for the tax revenue that could be derrived from legal, recreational marijuana in the state. One of the unintended consequences of these legalization programs is that it puts many drivers on the road who could be under the influence of marijuana and this has the attention of transportation safety advocates. When this is coupled with the use of perscription pain killers and other medications with side effects, this...
